- Description:
- NGC 6231 is a massive young star cluster, near the center of the Sco OB1 association. While its OB members are well studied, its low-mass population has received little attention. In the reference paper, the authors present high-spatial resolution Chandra ACIS-I X-ray data, wherein they detect 1,613 point X-ray sources. Their main aim was to clarify the global properties of NGC 6231 down to low masses through a detailed membership assessment, and to study the cluster stars' spatial distribution, the origin of their X-ray emission, the cluster age and formation history, and its initial mass function. The authors use X-ray data, complemented by optical and IR data, to establish cluster membership. The spatial distribution of different stellar subgroups also provides highly significant constraints on cluster membership, as does the distribution of X-ray hardness. In their study, the authors perform spectral modeling of group-stacked X-ray source spectra. The X-ray properties of the sources detected in the Chandra observations of NGC 6231, and their cross-identifications in the catalogs of Sung, Sana, and Bessell (2013 AJ, 145, 37; hereafter SSB); VPHAS+ (Drew et al., 2014, MNRAS, 440, 2036); and 2MASS (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/246">CDS Cat. II/246</a>), and information about membership, H-alpha or IR excess, mass and luminosity are also provided. SSB derive a distance modulus for NGC 6231 of 11.0 (1,585 pc), a reddening E(B - V) = 0.47, and a nearly normal reddening law with R = 3.2. The present authors adopt these values for this work. NGC 6231 was observed twice in X-rays with the ACIS-I detector on-board the Chandra X-ray Observatory on 2005, July 3 to 4 (ObsId 5372) and 16 to 17 (ObsID 6291), respectively. The two pointings share the same center (aimpoint) but were performed with a different roll angle. Effective exposure times for the observations were 76.19 and 44.39 ks, respectively, making the total exposure time 120.58 ks. The data were filtered to retain the energy band 0.3 - 8.0 keV, and the full-field lightcurves were inspected to search for high-background periods, but none were found. Exposure maps were computed using standard CIAO software tasks. To these prepared datasets, the authors applied the source detection software PWDetect, a wavelet-based detection algorithm developed at INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo. The PWDetect version used here is a modified one, able to detect sources in combined datasets, thus taking full advantage of the deep total exposure. The detection threshold was chosen such as to yield ten spurious detections in the field of view (FOV), for the given background counts. This is a more relaxed constraint than the more usual limit of one spurious detection per field, but is justified when the lowered threshold allows the detection of more than one hundred additional faint sources, as it was the case here or in the COUP Program's Orion data. This HEASARC table contains the list of 1,613 detected X-ray point sources and information about their optical and IR counterparts, where known. It does not contain the 275 additional candidate cluster members (where their candidacy was based on their having H-alpha or IR excesses) which lack X-ray counterparts and that were also listed in Table B.2 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2016 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/596/A82">CDS Catalog J/A+A/596/A82</a> file tableb.dat, which is the merger of tables B.1 (the list of 1,613 X-ray sources) and B.2 (the list of 1,888 optical and near-IR identifications of X-ray sources and of IR- and H-alpha-excess stars) from the reference paper, but excluding the 275 stars listed in the latter whose candidacy was based on their having H-alpha or IR excesses and which lack X-ray counterparts. # This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This table contains the sources detected in a Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, as well as the corresponding XMM-Newton data for those sources which have XMM-Newton X-ray counterparts. Using new Chandra X-ray observations and existing XMM-Newton X-ray and Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet observations, the authors aim to detect and identify the faint X-ray sources belonging to NGC 2808 in order to understand their role in the evolution of globular clusters. The authors classify the X-ray sources associated with the cluster by analysing their colors and variability. Previous observations with XMM-Newton and far-ultraviolet observations with Hubble are re-investigated to help identify the Chandra sources associated with the cluster. The authors compare their results to population synthesis models and observations of other Galactic globular clusters. NGC 2808 was observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer-Imager (ACIS-I) on 2007 June 19-21 (28 months after the XMM-Newton observation referred to the reference paper) for two distinct exposures of 46 and 11 kiloseconds. The authors detect 113 sources, of which 16 fall inside the half-mass radius of NGC 2808 and are concentrated towards the cluster core. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/490/641 file table1.dat).

- Description:
- S0 galaxies are often thought to be passively evolved from spirals after star formation is quenched. To explore what is actually occurring in such galaxies, the authors conducted a multi-wavelength case study of NGC 5866 - a nearby edge-on S0 galaxy in a relatively isolated environment. This study shows strong evidence for dynamic activities in the interstellar medium, which are most likely driven by supernova explosions in the galactic disk and bulge. Understanding these activities can have strong implications for studying the evolution of such galaxies. The authors utilized Chandra, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer data as well as ground-based observations to characterize the content, structure, and physical state of the medium and its interplay with the stellar component in NGC 5866. These reveal the presence of diffuse X-ray-emitting hot gas, which extends as far as 3.5 kpc away from the galactic plane and can be heated easily by Type Ia SNe in the bulge. The Chandra/ACIS observation of NGC 5866 was taken on 2002 November 14. The authors reprocessed the archived data for their study. See Figure 1 in the reference paper for the Chandra/ACIS-S image of NGC 5866 in the 0.3-7 keV band. This table contains the detected X-ray point sources listed in table 2 of this paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2018 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/706/693">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/706/693</a> file table2.dat, the list of detected X-ray sources in the Chandra observation of NGC 5866.

- Description:
- This table contains the results of an observation of the young cluster NGC 2362 in X-rays with Chandra ACIS-I in which 387 point X-ray sources, most of which are shown to be cluster members, were detected using PWDetect, a wavelet-based source detection algorithm, with a detection threshold chosen to ensure no more than one spurious detection in the entire ACIS FOV. The table lists all of the detected X-ray sources and their basic X-ray properties, as well as their proposed identifications with optical stars, using data from Moitinho et al. (2001ApJ...563L..73M; UBVRI photometry) and Dahm (2005, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/130/1805">CDS Cat. <J/AJ/130/1805></a>; H-alpha data), as well as newer photometric data from Moitinho et al. (2005, in 'Cores to Clusters' [A&SSL, 324], 167). A matching position of less than 4 times the X-ray positional uncertainty of the X-ray source from PWDetect was used. Also included in the table is a classification of the optically-identified X-ray sources, based on their positions in the HR Diagram, which helps to separate rather clearly the cluster members from interloping field objects.

- Description:
- In a deep 60 ks Chandra ACIS-I X-ray observation of the very young (~ 1.5 - 2.0 Myr) cluster NGC 6530 on 2001 Jun 18-19, the authors have detected 884 X-ray point sources and argue that a very large fraction of them (90%-95%) must be pre-main-sequence (PMS) cluster members, mostly low-mass stars. This is a significant enlargement of the known NGC 6530 stellar population with respect to previous optical studies, including H-alpha surveys. They identify 220 X-ray sources with catalogued stars down to V = 17, while most unidentified sources have fainter counterparts. Moreover, they find an infrared counterpart in the 2MASS (CDS. No. <II/246>) Catalog for 731 X-ray sources. The optically identified cluster X-ray sources are found in a band in the H-R diagram above the main sequence, in the locus of 0.5 - 1.5 Myr PMS stars, with masses down to 0.5 - 1.5 solar masses (M_sun). The pointing direction for the Chandra observation was the NGC 6530 cluster center at RA = 18^h 04^m 24.38^s, Dec = -24^o 21' 05.8" (J2000.0). The PWDetect algorithm found 884 X-ray point sources in the ACIS-I image above a detection significance threshold chosen to ensure only 1 spurious detection on the average. The Sung et al. (2000, AJ, 120, 333; <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/120/333">CDS Cat. <J/AJ/120/333></a>) = SCB Catalog of optical objects against which the X-ray point source list was compared doed not cover the easternmost 2.25' of the ACIS FOV (RAs later than 18^h 04^m 52^s), notice, which comprises about 13% of the ACIS FOV. There are 46 detected X-ray sources (5.2% of the total) in the area not covered by the SCB Catalog. A matching distance of 4 times the X-ray error radius or 2.0" (whichever is greater) was used to identify optical counterparts to the X-ray sources, after a systematic shift between the X-ray and optical positions of -0.4" and 1.84" in RA and declination, respectively, was applied. The authors estimate that as many as 28 of their 220 optical identifications may be spurious, preferentially those in the outer parts of the FOV where the positional uncertainties are larger. There are 8792 'good' 2MASS sources in the ACIS FOV. A matching distance of 4 times the X-ray error radius or 1.5" (whichever is greater) was used to identify 2MASS counterparts to the X-ray sources, after systematic corrections of 0.3" and 1.75" in RA and declination, respectively, were applied to the 'raw' X-ray positions. There are 13 cases where there are two possible IR counterparts to a single X-ray source, and 2 cases where there are three possible IR Counterparts to a single X-ray source. (Notice that, in such cases, this table contains multiple entries, one for each counterpart, and hence there are 901 entries compared to 884 X-ray sources.) The authors conclude that the plausible number of spurious X-ray-2MASS identifications is between 30 and 50. Overall, there remain 146 X-ray sources with no optical or IR identification.

- NGC 1893 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The outer Galaxy, where the environmental conditions are different from the solar neighbourhood, is a laboratory in which it is possible to investigate the dependence of the star formation process on the environmental parameters. The authors investigate the X-ray properties of NGC 1893, a young cluster (~ 1 - 2 Myr) in the outer part of the Galaxy (galactic radius >= 11 kpc), where they expect differences in the disk evolution and in the mass distribution of the stars, so as to explore the X-ray emission of its members and compare it with that of young stars in star forming regions near to the Sun. The authors analyze 5 deep Chandra ACIS-I observations with a total exposure time of 450 ks. Source events of the 1021 X-ray sources have been extracted with the IDL-based routine ACIS-Extract. Using spectral fitting and quantile analysis of X-ray spectra, they derive X-ray luminosities and compare the respective properties of Class II and Class III members. They also evaluate the variability of sources using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and identify flares in the lightcurves. The X-ray luminosity of NGC 1893 X-ray members is in the range 10<sup>29.5</sup> - 10<sup>31.5</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. Diskless stars are brighter in X-rays than disk-bearing stars, given the same bolometric luminosity. The authors find that 34% of the 1021 lightcurves appear variable and that they show 0.16 flares per source, on the average. Comparing their results with those relative to the Orion Nebula Cluster, they find that, after accounting for observational biases, the X-ray properties of NGC 1893 and the Orion stars are very similar. The authors conclude that the X-ray properties of stars in NGC 1893 are not affected by the environment and that the stellar population in the outer Galaxy may have the same coronal properties as nearby star-forming regions. The X-ray luminosity properties and the X-ray luminosity function appear to be universal and can therefore be used for estimating distances and for determining stellar properties.

- Description:
- NGC 1333, a highly active star formation region within the Perseus molecular cloud complex, has been observed on 2000 July 12.96 - 13.48 with the ACIS-I detector on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The aim point of the array was 3 29 06.1, +31 19 38 (J2000,0 RA and Dec), the satellite roll angle was 95.7 degrees, and the effective exposure time after removing time intervals contaminated by background flaring was 37.8 ks. In this image with a sensitivity limit in luminosity of ~10<sup>28</sup> erg/s for X-ray sources at the 318 pc distance of NGC 1333, 127 X-ray sources were detected, most with sub-arcsecond positional accuracy. While 32 of these sources appear to be foreground stars and extragalactic background objects, 95 X-ray sources are identified with known cluster members. The X-ray luminosity function of the discovered young stellar object (YSO) population spans a range of log L<sub>X</sub> ~= 28.0 - 31.5 erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5 - 8 keV band, and the absorption column densities range from log N<sub>H</sub> ~=20 to 23 cm<sup>-2</sup>. Most of the sources have plasma temperatures between 0.6 and 3 keV, but a few sources show higher temperatures up to ~7 keV. Comparison with K-band source counts indicates that all of the known cluster members with K < 12 and about half of the members with K > 12 were detected. (K ~= 11, the peak of the K-band luminosity function, corresponds to 0.2 - 0.4 M_solar stars for a cluster age of ~1 Myr). Seven of the 20 known YSOs in NGC 1333 which are producing jets or molecular outflows were detected, as well as one deeply embedded object without outflows. No evident difference in X-ray emission of young stars with and without outflows is found. This present table contains X-ray, optical and near-infrared information on the 109 X-ray sources that were detected above a source significance threshold of 1 x 10<sup>-6</sup> in any of 3 energy bands: soft: 0.5 - 2.0 keV, hard: 2.0 - 8.0 keV, or full: 0.5 - 8.0 keV, excluding 8 sources that were deemed to be spurious on visual examination of the images. The faintest on-axis source emerging from the wavelet detection procedure has 5 extracted counts, corresponding to a source of log L<sub>X</sub> ~ 28.0 in the total (0.5 - 8.0 keV) band for a source with negligible interstellar absorption (A<sub>V</sub> ~ 1) and a typical source spectrum of a kT ~ 1 keV thermal plasma. This limit increases to 28.6 (29.3) if the absorption is increased to A<sub>V</sub> ~ 5 (10). The sensitivity decreases by a factor of 4 at the edge of the field compared to the central regions. 80 of the significant 109 sources (73%) have counterparts in a non-X-ray band. This table does not include 18 tentative X-ray sources listed in Table 3 of the reference paper that were found by the authors by searching for concentrations of photons spatially coincident with known sources from near-IR, mm/sub-mm, and radio catalogs of this region which did not reach the detection significance given above. Most of these tentative sources are believed to be real sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/575/354">CDS catalog J/ApJ/575/354</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

- Description:
- NGC 3293 is a young stellar cluster at the northwestern periphery of the Carina Nebula Complex that has remained poorly explored until now. The authors wanted to characterize the stellar population of NGC 3293 in order to evaluate key parameters of the cluster population like the age and the mass function, and to test claims of an abnormal initial mass function (IMF) and a deficit of <= 2.5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars. Thus, they performed a deep (71 ksec) X-ray observation of NGC 3293 with Chandra in which they detected 1026 individual X-ray point sources. These X-ray data directly probe the low-mass (M <= 2*M<sub>sun</sub>) stellar population by means of the strong X-ray emission of young low-mass stars. The authors have identified counterparts for 74% of the X-ray sources in their deep near-infrared images. These data clearly show that NGC 3293 hosts a large population of ~ 1*M<sub>sun</sub> stars, refuting claims of a lack of M <= 2.5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars. The analysis of the color-magnitude diagram suggests an age of ~8-10 Myr for the low-mass population of the cluster. There are at least 511 X-ray detected stars with color-magnitude positions that are consistent with young stellar members within 7 arcminutes from the cluster center. The number ratio of X-ray detected stars in the 1-2 solar mass range versus the M >= 5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars (known from optical spectroscopy) is well consistent with the expectation from a normal field initial mass function. Most of the early B-type stars and ~20% of the later B-type stars are detected as X-ray sources. These data shows that NGC 3293 is one of the most populous stellar clusters in the entire Carina Nebula Complex (only excelled by Tr 14, and very similar to Tr 16 and Tr 15). The cluster has probably harbored several O-type stars, the supernova explosions of which may have had an important impact on the early evolution of the Carina Nebula Complex. The authors used the Chandra X-ray Observatory to perform a deep pointing of the cluster NGC 3293 with the Imaging Array of the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I). The 71-ksec observation was performed as an open time project with ObsID 16648 (PI: T. Preibisch) during Chandra Observing Cycle 15 in October 2015 (start date: 2015-10-07 T10:14:23, end date: 2015-10-08 T06:43:28). The imaging array ACIS-I provides a field of view of 17' x 17' on the sky (which corresponds to a scale of 11.3 x 11.3pc at the cluster distance of 2.3 kpc), and has a pixel size of 0.492". The aimpoint of the observation was RA(J2000) = 10<sup>h</sup> 35<sup>m</sup> 50.07<sup>s</sup>, Dec(J2000) = -58<sup>o</sup> 14' 00", which is close to the optical center of the cluster (see Fig. 1 in the reference paper). The pointing roll angle (i.e., the orientation of the detector with respect to the celestial North direction) was 140.19<sup>o</sup>. In addition to ACIS-I, one CCD detector (CCD 7 = S3) of the spectroscopic array ACIS-S was also operational during this pointing. It covers an 8.3' x 8.3' area on the sky southwest of the cluster center. While the ACIS-I chips are front-illuminated (FI), the S3 chip is back-illuminated (BI), and thus its response extends to energies below that accessible by the FI chips. This causes a substantially higher level of background in the S3 chip. Furthermore, the PSF is seriously degraded at the rather large off-axis angles of the S3 chip. These two effects led to a considerably higher detection limit for point sources in the area covered by the S3 chip compared to the region covered by the ACIS-I array. Nevertheless, the S3 data were included in the data analysis and source detection, and contributed four point sources to the total source list. At the distance of 2.3 kpc, the expected ACIS point source sensitivity limit for a three-count detection on-axis in a 71-ks observation corresponds to a minimum X-ray luminosity of L<sub>x</sub> ~ 10<sup>29.7</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5-8.0 keV energy band, assuming an extinction of A<sub>V</sub> ~ 1 mag (N<sub>H</sub> ~ 2 x 10<sup>21</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>) typical for the stars in the central region of NGC 3293, and a thermal plasma with kT = 1 keV (which is a typical value for young stars). Using the empirical relation between X-ray luminosity and stellar mass and the temporal evolution of X-ray luminosity from the sample of young stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster, which was very well studied in the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (Preibisch et al. 2005, ApJS, 160, 401; Preibisch & Feigelson 2005, ApJS, 160, 390), the authors expected to detect ~90% of the ~ 1*M<sub>sun</sub> stars in the central region of the young cluster NGC 3293. The X-ray properties of the 97 B-type stars in the ACIS-I field towards the cluster (24 of which are detected as X-ray sources) are not included in this HEASARC table, but are listed in Table 3 of the reference paper, which is also reproduced below: <pre> ESL No.* Star Name X-ray Spectral Type X-ray Luminosity (L<sub>x</sub>) log (L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub>) Src No. erg/s 49 B2.5 V < 4.33e+30 < -5.88 33 HDE 303073 B8 III < 7.15e+30 < -6.31 65 ALS 20075 B5 III-V < 2.12e+30 < -5.88 77 B6-7 V < 1.42e+30 < -5.91 96 ALS 20084 B6-7 III < 9.09e+29 < -5.96 87 47 B5 V 4.62e+30 -5.11 38 B2.5 V < 7.16e+29 < -6.94 68 78 B9 III 4.79e+30 72 B8 IIp < 6.87e+29 69 B5 V < 3.89e+29 < -6.47 22 HDE 303075 B0.5-1.5n < 6.22e+29 < -7.77 109 B5 V < 5.05e+29 < -6.06 93 B6-7 V < 5.16e+29 < -6.17 116 B6-7 V < 4.74e+29 < -5.88 73 B6-7 V < 3.87e+29 < -6.38 10 CPD-57 3500 395 B1 III 7.35e+29 -7.89 121 ALS 20096 B8: III < 4.84e+29 50 B3 Vn < 5.01e+29 < -6.71 2 HD 91943 418 B0.7 Ib 4.11e+30 -8.15 41 V438 Car B2.5 V < 3.94e+29 < -7.21 48 CPD-57 3505 461 B2.5 V 1.39e+30 -6.67 3 CPD-57 3506A 490 B1 III 5.37e+30 -7.63 125 B8 III-V < 8.62e+29 < -5.48 19 V405 Car 523 B1 V 6.77e+29 -7.88 34 CPD-57 3509 535 B2 IIIh 6.71e+29 -7.54 1 HD 91969 542 B0 Iab 2.78e+31 -7.52 106 565 B6-7 V 1.20e+30 -5.54 53 CPD-57 3512 B3 V < 3.61e+29 < -6.70 98 598 B8 III-V 1.31e+30 -5.65 30 CPD-57 3514 601 B2 V 1.99e+30 -6.64 123 604 B8 III 3.79e+30 -4.98 8 HD 91983 626 B1 III 1.36e+30 -7.78 32 CPD-57 3518 B0.5-B1.5 Vn < 1.20e+30 < -7.14 61 B5 V < 3.87e+29 < -6.56 5 CPD-57 3521 679 B1 III 3.45e+30 -7.61 28 CPD-57 3520 B2 V < 4.16e+29 < -7.46 113 B6-7 V < 4.09e+29 < -6.01 11 CPD-57 3526 703 B1: 2.29e+30 6 CPD-57 3526B 710 B1 III 2.29e+30 -7.73 84 B5 V < 3.99e+29 < -6.33 31 CPD-57 3528 B2 V < 1.50e+30 < -6.66 29 CPD-57 3531 B0.5-B1.5 Vn < 5.99e+29 < -7.56 59 B5 III-Vn < 8.23e+29 < -6.61 80 B5 V < 1.31e+30 < -5.98 13 HD 92024 831 B1 III 6.59e+29 -7.82 108 850 B6-7 V 3.65e+30 -5.09 95 884 B6-7 V 1.49e+30 -5.66 67 B3 V < 1.20e+30 < -6.42 97 B6-7 III < 6.34e+29 < -6.01 94 927 B5 V 4.42e+30 -5.35 85 B5 V < 1.47e+30 < -5.80 4 CPD-57 3523 697 B1 III 3.40e+30 -7.57 7 HD 92044 908 B1 III 2.20e+30 -7.94 14 CPD-57 3524A 704 B0.5 IIIn 5.46e+30 -7.27 </pre> * The ESL number is the source number of the star as given in Evans et al.

- NGC 4214 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

- Description:
- This table contains a comprehensive X-ray point source catalog of the IAB(s)m galaxy NGC 4214 similar to the LMC, one of the nearest examples of a starburst galaxy with a substantial population of Wolf-Rayet stars, as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. The combined archival observations of this galaxy have an effective exposure time of 79 ks. When combined with the catalogs of sources in NGC 55 and NGC 2403 given in this same reference paper, and the authors' previously published catalogs for NGC 300 (Binder et al. 2012, ApJ, 758, 15) and NGC 404 (Binder et al. 2013, ApJ, 763, 128), the CLVS contains 629 high-significance X-ray sources total down to a limiting unabsorbed luminosity of ~ 5 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.35-8.0 keV band in each of the five galaxies. In the reference paper, the authors present X-ray hardness ratios, spectral analysis, radial source distributions, and an analysis of the temporal variability for the X-ray sources detected at high significance. To constrain the nature of each X-ray source, they carried out cross-correlations with multi-wavelength data sets. They searched overlapping Hubble Space Telescope observations for optical counterparts to their X-ray detections to provide preliminary classifications for each X-ray source as a likely X-ray binary, background active galactic nucleus, supernova remnant, or foreground star. The authors utilized archival X-ray observations: NGC 4214 was observed by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory using the ACIS-S array on three occasions for a total of 79 ks: <pre> Obs. ID Date Eff. Exposure time (ks) 2030 2001 Oct 16 25 4743 2004 Apr 03 26 5197 2004 Jul 30 28 </pre> The iterative source detection strategy that was used is described in Section 2.3 of Binder et al. (2012, ApJ, 758, 15). ACIS-Extract (AE) was run a final time on the source list that was produces after an initial run of wavdetect followed by several iterations of AE, and the Poisson probability of not being a source (pns) value was computed in each of the following nine energy bands: 0.5 - 8.0, 0.5 - 2.0, 2.0 - 8.0, 0.5 - 1.0, 1.0 - 2.0, 2.0 - 4.0, 4.0 - 8.0, 0.35 - 1.0 or 0.35 - 8.0 keV. To be included in the final NGC 4214 catalog, a source was required to have a pns value less than 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup> in any of the nine energy bands. The final CLVS source catalog for NGC 2403 contains 116 sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2015 based on machine-readable versions of those parts of Table 5 and 8 from the reference paper which pertained to the 116 high-significance (pns < 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup>) X-ray sources which were detected in NGC 4214. It does not include the 95 lower-significance sources in NGC 4214 which had 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup> < pns < 1.0 x 10<sup>-3</sup>, some of which are likely to be genuine X-ray sources.

- Description:
- The NGC 2516 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog is the result of a comprehensive study of the Chandra X-ray observations of the young open star cluster NGC 2516. The authors have analyzed eight individual Chandra observations, comprising 5 ACIS and 3 HRC-I observations. They have combined these datasets to achieve the greatest sensitivity, reaching down to a threshold level of log f<sub>X</sub> = -14.56 (erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>), or log L<sub>X</sub> = 28.69 (erg/s) at the 387 pc distance of NGC 2516. Out of 284 X-ray sources detected, 155 are identified with photometric cluster members, with very little ambiguity, another 60 with non-members. There are 4 X-ray sources with two possible optical identifications (one cluster member and one nonmember for each), with no obvious choice between the two candidates. These 4 X-ray sources are listed in this Browse table twice, one for each optical counterpart, hence there are (284 + 4 =) 288 entries. There remain 73 X-ray sources without an optical identification with the authors' optical catalog stars. This Browse table was created by the HEASARC in December 2006, based on CDS table J/ApJ/588/1009, files table4.dat and table5.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
